Evening all. Thanks very much for all your comments and assistance. However I’ve failed can’t any of the three items/sprays you suggested here in Qatar. All I could fine was this rust remover gel. I’ve been putting it on daily and tomorrow will attempt to screw them out. I will update you all hopefully with good news.

just remember they're not "rusted" in, the factory put some sort of caulk/glue on them,

just remember, little turns, 1/8 at a time and then back and forth, it's a slow process,

Yes.. try to loosen then back snug... then loosen then back snug...

I'm like halfway through mine. I bought stainless steel bolts to replace the OEM ones.

What size bolts did you replace them with please.

I would try an 8mm x 35mm. As short as possible.
